Duff House: Romantic Scotland

Bringing together treasures from the National Gallery of Scotland’s and Historic Environment Scotland‘s collections, Romantic Scotland at Duff House contrasts the romantic depictions of Scotland’s changing landscapes created by artists and writers in the 19th century, with the reality of ordinary life.

The exhibition includes works by renowned painters Sir John Lavery, Patrick Nasmyth, and Sir James Guthrie, whose dramatic landscapes continue to shape perceptions of Scotland, and stunning early photography and historic objects that reframe these works in their historical contexts.
